ARRLWeb: ARRL NEWS: ARRL Sends Ham Aid Equipment to Haiti: "Even though the communications infrastructure in earthquake-ravaged Haiti is being rebuilt, there is still need for Amateur Radio communications. To assist in this effort, the ARRL's Ham-Aid program is providing equipment for local amateurs to use."
I've added a link to ARRL's Ham Aid program.
Amateur Radio Operator take their own equipment and with their own money set up stations to help out in disasters.
Some Hams from the Dominican Republic even got
shot at and wounded while attempting to install repeaters in Haiti to help out.
